    This new overture (fast-slow-fast) from Michael Sweeney opens with a dynamic unison statement and features powerful percussion writing throughout. The lyrical slow section includes a short trumpet solo and lush woodwind scoring. Mike's unique use of harmonies and dramatic effects makes this particularly impressive for younger players.

    these trumpet solos are nice!
    I really recommend this for younger players to keep trying! I wish to say I played this but I am a violinist, so I'm not a band member. But my friends are and yeah, I recommend this.

    Band: definitely deaf
    Higher up director: *opens door* what in the f minor(hell) just pissed of a tuba

      Every instrument is supposed to play _ff_ for the last three measures in my band (I’m an alto saxophone player) and the only thing you can hear during that part is the tubas and trombones. They’re crazy loud.
